23 miles to Central Square NY

Today we cruised across the Oneida Lake, this is about 21 miles long and about 5 miles wide with an average depth of 22 feet.  Stay in the channel because their are rocks in some shallow spots you should be cautious about.  The shoreline is about 55 miles, the locals say the lake surface freezes solid during the winter and its a great spot for ice fishing and snowmobiling.  (sounds epic to me)

The marina we stopped at is Winter Harbor Marina.  This is a top-notch facility, the owner lives on site and the whole place is very well taken care of.  Lots of flowers the employees take care of, cheap diesel at $2.21 and dockage is $.90 per foot per night.  This is a must stop spot, the store has any charts or parts you need.  They have two complementary cars, heated indoor winter storage and anything else you could think of.

4th generation Florida Panhandle native, my passions are my family and care and maintnance on my diesel engines (land and sea) because they give me the ability to travel in comfort all over this beautiful land. being kind to everyone you come in contact with is the best thing to do because we are all on the same wild journey through life and kindness makes the ride that much better. and everyone could use a helping hand along the way. including me! ask questions and learn! this is what life is all about.
